Inspired choice Review ofHP CD-Writer Plus 9150iby
Morgenhund
Advantages: Ease of Installation, Price Disadvantages: -
I bought an HP 9150i CDRW drive last October, which is an 8x/4x/32x EIDE internal drive, having previously had a very reliable Yamaha 426e (4x/2x/6x external SCSI Drive). The installation was so easy you would hardly believe it. First of all the CD includes a step by step video to see how to do things so that makes it perfect for anyone, regardless of whether they have ever installed anything in their live. It produces a tailor made set-up and gives ... ...Jumper switch setting, which cable to use etc...) making the whole process incredibly easy. The software package is very good, and has the latest version of DirectCD, a proprietary CDR Creation Wizard as well as a labelling program making it a complete solution. Within 15 minutes I was burning my first CD - usually the installation takes a good half hour or so. The price was what had attracted me, having bought this beauty for 3000 Austrian Schillings ...

Advantages: Ease of installation and use, reasonable price Disadvantages: IDE connection is lower than SCSI
...I finally settled on the HP 9150i, mainly because of the very reasonable price, but also because it seemed a lot easier to fit and install than a SCSI model. HP really couldn't have made it easier. They provide a CD which not only plays you a video to follow, but also checks your computer to tell you what jumper settings and IDE cable to use for the best results. Whilst looking into different CD-RWs, I was told time and time again that the software ... ...The HP 9150i's software is very intuitive to use with excellent results when both copying a whole CD and making a compilation fom many CDs. There is a update which is downloadable from the web (5MB, so do it at the weekend!) which adds a few more features and fixes some glitches (not that I'd noticed any glitches). Copying a whole CD was easy because I still have my old CD-ROM but initially, I had a few problems when making compilation CDs. It would ...

Advantages: Great CD-RW spec that works, great software and installation support Disadvantages: None
I went to PC World and they had an offer on (this was just after Christmas). This was down to £119.99. It is a 4rw x 8w x 32r CD-RW bundled with some really natty software including CD Direct and MyCD plus CD Labler II. I had looked on sites like DABS, etc. and some writers were cheaper, but I am a little fussy and wanted a name that I knew! I had been after a decent CD-RW for ages but had always been put off by the price and whether I would use ... ...have noticed the drop in price of CD-RWs which is great for the consumer. You don't need to have the latest hardware to achieve excellent results. The kit comes with an internal IDE CD-RW drive, CDs with the software and installation package on, instructions and a blank CD-R for you to play with. Nothing extravagant but ample for my needs. Firstly you run the installation disk which tells you how to install the drive into your PC and what to do next. ...
